@Syriansoldier Chances are this will drag on for a very long time and Bashar will likely mince more Jihadists while we mince them in the rest of the middle east and Africa.
Things will be very good for us all in a few years time my friend!

This tactic proofs the ineffectiveness of armor-usage in urban terrain....FSA still sitting there filming them while armored platoon fires a few random shots in all directions.....and no matter what...from higher ground its way more easy to pop open the tanks...

@SyrianPropagandaMinister thats what happens when you roll outdated equipment. russians learned it in grozny, thats why the t-90 has an elevated machine gun, in order to fight both high targets and low (as in buildings and sewers). that doesnt mean these ones wouldnt be able to shoot the cameraman down, its just a matter of spotting the bearded jihadists popping a camera out the corner of a window

OK let me see if I understand whats going on here. We have the FSA fighting the SSA right? Both sides are using Russian AK47's maybe an occassional 74. Your each using Russian tanks against each other. Both using Russian RPG,s. So who is going to win? The Russians won it. They sold the same shit to both sides. The Russians are counting their rubles while your two tribes hammer each other to death. Good plan.

@TheWustenfuchs Because if one tank is disabled, they could all be stuck behind or in front of it, preventing advance or retreat.
It is standard tactics to accompany tanks with infantry for mutual defence - the Russians had to turn Grozny to rubble with artillery and bombs because their tanks got wiped out by attacking the same way as in this video, with no infantry.
